We never discussed changing the grey, this was jchan's own opinion but something that wasn't decided on by rainb1ood, gatix and me. It stays the same. The colors that we decided to ask new samples for are the mod base and alpha base colors. As for the time it will take we have no idea, we haven't received the new samples, GMK didn't give a tracking number, and we have no idea when the samples will arrive.

Update: GMK sent us an email this morning, they have sent another sample as the last one may have been lost in the mail. This time its via UPS and should arrive by December 27

Ok, so if the samples arrive today and look good are we now 16 weeks from today to get this produced?

No, we are far along the GMK queue. Once the colors are confirmed it will take about another 2 weeks for the full amount of plastic to arrive. Once that has arrived at the factory they'll start production and sorting.

Might be a little too late to ask but will the dark modifier set come with a green legend 1u R4 Fn key? I'm planning on doing the hhkb layout but using the coloured legends. Cheers!

blaaaaaaah

Why did you have to point this out. every single board I have uses a split right shift >_<. sadness.

now i almost wish id gotten an ergodox just for a blank. wonder how hard it would be to run a GB just for that key lol.

Haha, I'd join it if it happened. I really want the key too

The problem would be moq. I donít think they even sold 250 mod kits. But since itís a custom color we still would need 250. I think itís something like $2-3 a key, so somewhere in the $600-1000 range.

Weíd need something like half the people who got the mod kit to buy in for like 2-3 caps each if we wanted to get it down to something reasonable like $5-10 a person.

I only bought this set to use with the color mods though, which it looks like I wonít have a use for. Guess it will probably be a quick flip on this one. Such an odd omission. They even have all the different versions of Control and an hhkb delete. Bummer.

Could you not just use the R4 Fn key from the base kit? All legends from the mod kit have different colors anyway, so the cyan would just be another different legend color.

The colors are done in rows, so Caps lock and enter are 1 color, tab and |\ are another. It would be jarring to me to not have the fn key match the row. Same reason I would never use the color mods on a 65%.

Itís my own fault for not noticing. Is just a bummer. Iíll probably see if there are extra ergodox kits just to get a blank lol. That said Im not sure I even like the final color anyway. I hope it looks better in person.

lol you're barely gonna notice the off color fn key. just use the tu2 cap

I am extremely ocd about such things. It will not be something I would barely notice.

Like I said. Itís my own fault.

The colored mods were a relatively late addition, and we tried to keep the kit as small as possible. If there were enough requests we would've added it. It is unfortunate that this one key leaves you disappointed. We hope you will change your mind when you receive the kits, or at least be able to pass it on to someone who likes if you're still unhappy.

Oh, no doubt. I didnít mean to sound like upset or anything. Itís impossible to judge with photos or renders. I loved the nautilus renders, and hated it in photos. In person I hate the mods and love the alphas so Iím still keeping it.

My only real concern is it just looks grey and not dark teal, but Iím guessing the color is impossible to capture without a lot of effort doing color timing.

If nothing else I can put it on a 65% with the accent arrows. Iím just disappointed because I should have paid better attention.

Why oh why did I only recently find this group buy. Watching these threads is like sweet torture. I really hope that someone has a few extra sets ordered. My collection won't be complete without this set!

sweet

will you get the EU batch directly from GMK, or will it detour via US? (here's hoping EU won't be the last to receive a gb set for once)

Great news! This is my first ever keyset group buy and I'm excited to have it in hand!
